As Good as Dead


It's like I'm addcited

You're a poison

I know you'll kill me

I don't seem to care though

 

I can feel it

Death

Running through my veins

Spreading through my body

 

I wonder how long

How long until I succumb to the pain

Pass out and escape

 

But I'm bound to you

Searching for a cure

A cure to heal me

 

You're poison

In its most deceiving form

So that one cannot resist

 

Willingly drinking

The sweet sickly poison

Until I realize what you've done

 

Only by then

It is too late

I am as good as dead
